"As long as it works, I've made a few more molds for you, and I'll make you an embroidery frame later."
"Will it delay your work, brother?" Qiu Yinong suddenly thought of something, if everyone has good skills.
Why does the Qiu family still live like this?
Qiu Hansheng scratched his head and said, "Brother has just started his apprenticeship. He was originally going to the county to work with my master after the busy farming season."
"However, I have something going on at home and I can't leave without someone. I probably won't go there. I'll go and apologize to Master in a few days when I have some free time."
"So that's how it is." No wonder the eldest brother has such good skills but no money.
It seems that the person who taught my eldest brother to work was actually suppressing him and preventing him from making money on his own.
My eldest brother was declared a master by his master after only one year of apprenticeship.
The book also wrote about a passage where the eldest brother's skills became better and better, and the master was afraid that he could not control him, so he sent him back.
Later, he would occasionally make some benches and tables and sell them in the town during the market.
It was not until the drought occurred that the eldest brother developed the prototype of a waterwheel. The county magistrate originally wanted to take the credit, but no one else could do it except the eldest brother, so he had to push the eldest brother out.
At that time, Zhao Zhiyi's official match also appeared. Later, in order to improve Zhao Zhiyi's status, the eldest brother was given the status of an idle marquis.
Qiu Yinong put the tools in place, placed the soap on top, and cut the first piece of soap.
It was very smooth. Qiu Yinong looked at the pattern and cut off another piece.
There are 156 pieces in total when cut, and there are patterns on the upper and lower covers, so you can cut another piece in the middle.
This makes a total of 312 pieces of goat milk silk soap.
Qiu Yinong took a piece, came to the well, and said to the brothers: "Brothers, come and try it, this goat milk silk soap can be used to wash your face."
"Long-term use can improve skin texture and maintain skin."
"We don't need it. We men need to take care of our skin. But you, my sister, have delicate skin and tender flesh. You need to use some good things."
"No, no, you guys come and try!" Qiu Yinong used her power of acting like a spoiled child, and her five brothers were quickly defeated.
Everyone stood there obediently and lined up to use the goat milk silk soap. After entering the water, it felt a little sticky, but not uncomfortable.
Since I didn't have a blister net, I used a piece of clean gauze.
Work into foam, apply on face, and rinse with water.
"It has a sweet milky smell, and my face feels really smooth after using it. It feels very comfortable." Qiu Hanli was the first to express his opinion.
The other brothers also nodded, looking at Qiu Yinong with light in their eyes.
"This thing is so easy to use." Qiu Hansheng also looked at the goat milk silk soap with surprise, and Qiu Yinong smiled happily.
Then Qiu Yinong thought of something and asked, "Is there a bamboo craftsman in our village?"
"Yes, there are several bamboo craftsmen in the village. Uncle Dongsheng, Uncle Xinsheng, and Brother Dayong are all bamboo craftsmen."
Qiu Hanli took over.
Qiu Yinong said to Qiu Hanli, "Then make the new soap later, and Fourth Brother will take me to find them."
"good."
Qiu Yinong also asked if we could go to Uncle Yongxi's house to buy some goat milk, so that everything could be done today.
Qiu Hanli quickly said he would go buy it and ran out with the jar.
Qiu Yinong hurriedly called out from behind: "Fourth brother, don't worry, go slowly."
"Let him be. Do you still need the mold?" Qiu Hansheng asked again.
Qiu Yinong thought for a moment and said, "Then Big Brother, please help me make ten more molds like this. That should be enough."
"Okay." Qiu Hansheng turned around and went to his small workshop to work.
"Fifth brother, can you help me light the fire?" Qiu Yinong looked at Qiu Hanchi, who nodded and followed her into the kitchen.
Qiu Yinong put the lard he bought yesterday into the pot to boil the oil. When it was almost done, he removed the oil residue and put the pig pancreas into the oil to continue boiling.
When it is almost done, remove and discard the pig pancreas residue.
He scooped the hot oil into a clean vat. Although Qiu Hanchi was puzzled, he did not scold or stop him.
There was a little left, and I didn't scoop it out because there were too many residues in it.
Qiu Hanchi moved the small jar to the yard, and Qiu Yinong brought out yesterday's wood ash.
After the oil temperature dropped a little, she poured wood ash into the oil and took out a small porcelain bottle containing rose essential oil, which she had also made before.
I put the seasoning in and a fragrance spread out, but Qiu Hanli had not come back yet.
Qiu Yinong, Qiu Hanqing and Qiu Hanchi took turns stirring until it became creamy.
Put the prepared rose soap into the mold.
It took three molds to make so much lard. As soon as it was finished, the goat milk came back. Together with the three cans from this morning, there were a total of six cans.
Qiu Yinong asked them to continue, prepare the oil, stir the goat milk, make one jar of goat milk pearl soap and one jar of ordinary goat milk soap, and add some rose essential oil into them.
They all contain skin-nourishing ingredients. Put all the soaps into the mold.
The brothers and sisters were so tired that they didn't want to move at all and slumped in their chairs in an ungraceful manner.
Qiu Hanqing looked at Qiu Yinong distressedly and said to her, "Sister, go back to your room and rest for a while. The kiln will be ready for use in the evening."
"Not yet. It won't be that fast. Even after removing it from the mold, it still needs to air dry for seven days before it can be fired."
Qiu Yinong shook her head and told Qiu Hanqing, who smiled and said, "That's even better. You can go back and have a good rest first."
"No, we still need to find a bamboo craftsman to make something."
"You're just a little girl, why are you worrying so much? Just tell me and I'll go there for you."
Qiu Yinong was touched when she heard Qiu Hanqing's distressed words.
"Okay, then I'll go draw it. Second brother, go find me a bamboo craftsman to make a hundred of them first."
"Okay." Qiu Hanqing responded.
Qiu Yinong turned and went to Qiu Hanyan's room. Qiu Hanyan was writing a policy paper, so he didn't help this afternoon.
After all, he was going to take the imperial examination soon. When he saw Qiu Yinong come in, he hurriedly asked if she needed paper and pen again.
Qiu Yinong chuckled and said, "When Second Brother goes to town tomorrow, I'll have him go to the bookstore to make up for Third Brother."
"It's okay, you can use it. Second brother has some left here." Qiu Hanyan smiled gently.
Qiu Yinong nodded, picked up a pen and paper, and drew three simple soap boxes.
He blew on it, said something to Qiu Hanyan, turned around and went out.
"Second brother, this is a soap box made of bamboo. Ask the three bamboo craftsmen if they can make it. If they can, ask them to make a hundred of them first."
"Also, second brother, tomorrow, please help me go to the porcelain shop in town and buy some ceramics to hold rouge and powder."
“Once our village can make its own firewood, we can make it ourselves.”
Qiu Hanqing nodded, took the manuscript, turned around and went out.
"What should we do?" The fourth and fifth brothers looked at Qiu Yinong.
"Take a rest and bring back some coal slag later." Qiu Yinong thought for a while and spoke.
